2002 Ford Explorer Repair Question
My intermittently at idle will rev up to around 2k rpms before the trans clicks into first

Sounds like it needs overhauling-have it pressure tested-Do you have a check engine light?
Could it be low fluid? Not filled correctly? No engine light...no o/d light flashing...it just frustrates me cause it only does it SOMETIMES and the trans shifts perfectly. I know when they replaced the TC...they hooked the computer up to check all the diagnostics of it running and they said it was good to go.
Bring it back where you had the transmission TC replaced and have them further check it-
dis agree withe the repair for the issue. it sounds more like low pressure from the pump or a bad front clutch seals. torque converters will not neutral a trans. if it did, it would completely fail and it would go nowhere.
you will most likely need an overhaul.

I forgot to add that BEFORE the TC was done but after the flush....the dealer reported some trans pump whine along with TC rattle if that helps
confirms the front pump as i said. no matter, it will have to come out.
Roy
In your opinion, how long roughly do I have? Could it just go out on me anytime? Or since it's only doing it at idle, does it give me some time to save up some money to overhaul it?
it will not last long at all. i would do something soon before it totally fails.
Roy
So, in essence, I basically screwed everything up by having the trans flushed because even though it was black fluid, there was no slippage at all at idle?
